I have created an access database with DBPro, i have enter a string field with 500 characters size.

From help

StringVariable-length character data with a maximum of 8,000* characters. Used for storing text or combinations of text and numbers, such as addresses. Can also be used for numbers that do not require calculations, such as telephone numbers, part numbers, postal codes, etc. Some types of databases refer to this field type as a "VarChar". The desired size of the field is specified in parenthesis. For example: String(500)

Creating the table i get the error that "Size of field Quest is too long."
Maybe there is a mistake in help ??? as far as know string fields can only take 255 characters unless they are VarChar.
is Any ideas why this is happening, maybe a bug...???
